About Keen Astro
Keen Astro is a small, personal operation run by Andy Keen — a professional astrophotographer, educator, and aurora guide based between the Arctic and the island of Gozo in the Mediterranean.
Andy has spent over 16 years and more than 10,000 hours beneath Arctic skies, guiding thousands of participants from around the world — with an aurora success rate of approximately 95% since 2008. His work has been featured in The Guardian, Sky & Telescope, Wanderlust, and the Daily Mail, and he has contributed to television documentaries for the BBC, Spiegel TV, and productions supported by French and Belgian broadcasters. The BBC production Little Stargazing was nominated for a BAFTA, and the Spiegel TV documentary Die Sonne — aired on ARTE and Curiosity Stream — was nominated at the Silbersalz Science & Media Festival and went on to win the Medienpreis Luft- und Raumfahrt in the Space category.
Keen Astro brings that experience into a complete astrophotography platform — in-person workshops, Northern Lights guiding, deep sky imaging, schools outreach, and free online learning — designed for everyone from complete beginners to photographers looking to go further.
Astrophotography Workshops, Northern Lights Guiding & Night Sky Experiences
Hands-on, personal, and open to complete beginners — whether you're here for the aurora, the deep sky, or simply to learn what your camera can really do under the stars.
There are many ways to experience the night sky. A landscape astrophotography workshop on a clear evening. A deep sky imaging session, pulling detail from nebulae and galaxies that the naked eye will never see. Standing in the Arctic, watching the aurora move across the horizon. Or sitting with a young student who has just seen Saturn's rings for the first time.
What ties all of it together is preparation, knowledge, and being in the right place at the right time.
Take a look at what's available below — and if you have a question, or something you have in mind that isn't listed, just get in touch.
